saundersfoot 110 valley dragons 129

On a warm sunny afternoon last Sunday, the Saundersfoot bowlers entertained their old friends Valley Dragons for their annual encounter. The Dragons, who hail from Rhondda Cynon Taff, undertake fund-raising activities for the Ty Hafan Children's Hospice and have to date raised over £30,000 The game itself was secondary to the cause, but was enjoyed by all and laughter and good natured banter abounded. At the half-time tea break, captain for the day, Lorna Bissell, presented the visitors with a cheque for £100 and in addition, a further £75 was given, being the proceeds from the fines that took place on the recent tour to Kent.

The ladies of St. Issell's defeated their club colleagues from Saundersfoot by 17 shots, picking up all six league points. On rink one, Chris Haley, Kath Blayney, Beryl Lawrence and Ceris Hewlings started slowly against Angela Roberts, Alwen Hughes, Lorna Bissell and Kay Kennion and the St. Issell's rink lost the first three ends. By halfway, however, the scores were tied, but the next five ends saw St. Issell's score 15 shots without reply and this remained the difference at the end as they ran out winners by 27 shots to 12. On rink two, Lyn Statters, captain Diane Rigden, Shirley Spiller and Beryl Lewis were up against Elsie Pendlebury, Anne Davies, Viv Edwards and Marion Evans. This time it was the St. Issell's girls who flew out of the blocks, taking an 8-0 lead on four ends and at tea were leading by 11 shots. A spirited second half by the Saundersfoot ladies, however, saw that lead reduced to just one shot going into the last end, but Beryl's rink took a one and the two points by 23 shots to 21.
